I hope you have a safe and fun day!
Yesterday the Princess came over for a visit.
It was the first time I had seen her in 6 weeks!
ðŸ˜
We carved pumpkins, decorated cookies, had a tea party and went to the creek. It was a fun day and I was tireddddd by the end!
I am happy we got to do so much in one day!
It was a lot of fun!
Ejoy your last day of the month!
We had a major storm here over the weekend.
We had a total of 5.8 inches in this area. It was part of the bombcyclone.
Needless to say fire season is done.
Here is Baylee as he lays under his blanket.
He wasn't impressed with the pouring rain all weekend.
We ran out in-between pouring rain to take him to go potty.
Other then watching it rain I made sourdough.
The creek is once again running and the ponds are filling up.
It was a great weekend!
Next weekend is Halloween!
Time is flying!
Have a great week!
I took the aquarium down and out the goldfish in the outdoor bathtub pond with the other fish. So afterwards I decided I missed the light from the aquarium. It was a nice light for the corner of the kitchen. I didn't want the aquarium there any longer though. It required a lot of maintenance and since Joanie died, and I let the bullfrog go I wasn't that interested in it. Cleaning every week got to be a drag.. So I decided a new vintage lamp was needed. I went on eBay and there it was. My favorite color and everything. It was like it was calling to me. I bought it and it arrived today.
Also today my pumpkin teapot arrived. I ordered last December. No I wasn't happy it took so long, but I am happy it finally came.
Now hopefully the Princess can come over for cookie baking and a tea party. She has a sinus infection now apparently. ðŸ˜. I think because of Covid. I think she should have stayed home for another week, but she went to school. So now she is sick with sinus. Covid tears down your immune system. Hopefully she feels better by Saturday. If not maybe the following Saturday before Halloween. This has been a terrible school year so far. I am so ready for Christmas break.
Today was a big protest day in the state of California. Kids, teachers and other school employees were absent from school to protest the covid vaccine and mask mandates. I went to school. We had less then half the kids we normally have in attendance. Needless to say it was a quiet day. Tomorrow is back to normal I guess?
I understand why parents etc are protesting this mandate. Right to choose what goes in to your body should be your choice. Not the governments. I chose to get the vaccine because I didn't want to end up on a ventilator, but each day that goes by new medicine is developing that can help fight the virus. I think soon there will be a drug like they have for the flu. In the meantime whoever chooses not to get vaccinated will have to be careful not to get sick. It's a scary illness, but thankfully most kids do fine. I don't believe they need to be vaccinated.
Adults are different. Especially older people.
I still think everyone should be in charge of their own bodies though.
Our school is testing anyone not vaccinated each week. The cost for testing at our school this year is 70 thousand dollars. We have a small school. That is insane.
Especially since even if vaccinated you can get the virus. My daughter and her husband are vaccinated and both got Covid. So it's not a sure thing by any means.
There are no answers.
Just wash your hands. I am a firm believer in sanitizing. Do you best and hopefully you will stay safe and healthy.

Each week the dough is different even though I weigh everything. I guess it depends on the weather or temperature in the house etc. Anyhow, this week's bread is yummy. I wish I had more time to make more. I would make it a couple times a week just to practice. Oh well.
I hope you are enjoying your Sunday!
Finally got motivated to do something today.
This year we grew some cool pumpkins. This one is called a knuckle head and there are some Cinderella pumpkins too.
This one has what looks like spider webs.
It was fun to grow them.
Decided this year it would just be on the front porch for outside decorations. In past years we decorated by our front gate, but this year since my daughter and family had Covid, my granddaughter wasn't able to come over to supervise. I hope she can visit in a week or so. If not then it will be Halloween.
The inside I did the entryway table.
Most of it stays up year around. I put up seasonal garland around the antique mirror and add funny hats to Charles and Viktoria. Viktoria usually wears her crown except for holidays.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
The garden is really moving towards fall. It has changed a lot in just a week. Everything is slowing down. There are still blooms, but certainly not as many.
It does look like a jungle, but there are pathways through the chaos.😂🤣
I hope you have a fabulous day!
Hopefully everyone is better in a few days and enjoy their time at home together.
I will feel better when everyone else is better.
I hope you are doing well.
My son-in-law and The Princess have tested positive for Covid.
The Princess came home from school yesterday feeling sick. Headache, fever and sore throat. Just about the same time my son-in-law came home sick too. He said maybe it is Covid. I will go get tested. He did and it was positive. Today The Princess was tested and she was positive too.
I felt so sad.
We have all tried for a year and a half not to get that stuff.
My son-in-law and daughter are both vaccinated.
I talked to my daughter this morning and she said The Princess was doing o.k.
My son-in-law said he feels like he has a head cold. He is worse off then The Princess.
So I can't see them for a couple of weeks. I hope they don't get any worse then they are now.
We are thinking my daughter and grandson will get it next.
My son-in-law and The Princess took a trip to Sacramento last weekend for a birthday party.
My daughter and grandson stayed home because my daughter is having problems with a kidney stone that is not wanting to pass. Although it is better then it was. This is an ongoing problem since August for her.
So they were not exposed to who ever had Covid in Sacramento. Of course by now they are exposed to their own family members.
We have all been upset over the loss of a friend this past week due to Covid. We are all on edge.
Also my son-in-laws grandpa who lost his battle this past summer.
My son-in-laws dad also passed this passed summer, but not from Covid.
So much loss this year for everyone.
I am going to make bread for them for Sunday. I also ordered two blankets for the kids that I will deliver at the same time.
It has been a terrible summer and seems to be continuing into the fall.
I hope things get better. I am just worn out from all the worrying etc.
I hope you are doing well and staying healthy.
